The week begins settled
enough. This morning, we wake up to the Moon in Scorpio. She is quite
sleepy as she is still waxing toward a trine with Neptune that
perfects at 11:35 AM. From here, she moves toward a conjunction with
Venus (4:59 PM). Of course, with Mars and Pluto (tandem rulers of
Scorpio) both in Capricorn, we think of ambition and production.
However, this morning, we don't seem to be much in the mood for that.
There are deeper concerns swirling in our guts. Venus and the Moon
are not alone in Scorpio, of course. Black Moon Lilith and Juno both
still reside there and have been there for quite awhile now. So,
while ambition and responsibility may be calling, many are
entertaining personal affairs behind the veil and under the hood.
On the most basic level, it
will be hard to get up and engage in the work week as the firing
pistol goes off. We do our dutiful routines if we are able. But, our
hearts are elsewhere. And, there is a part of us that may wish we
were “elsewhere” too. But, we muddle through for the most part.
Doing what we are obligated to do while giving deep consideration to
other things we feel as if we need to be doing which bear greater
personal importance than doing whatever our boss feels we need to be
concerned with.
Overnight the Moon sextiles
her current Lord, Pluto in Capricorn at 9:55 PM. Here we are given
opportunity to closely inspect the fissures in our foundations that
Pluto Rx dutifully uncovered. We most certainly need a plan of repair
while realizing that band-aids aren't exactly going to do the trick.
The work required will be much more deep and involved than that. At
times, the work ahead to repair the damage will feel overwhelming.
But, when we look at it...stare into that barren abyss...and break
the steps down into manageable bites, we may, indeed be able to
foster a pathway out or develop a plan to more effectively rebuild.
We want to take our time with this anyway. The repairs are important
enough to devote our attention. The work required will be meticulous.
And, this is where we have opportunity to assess and plan such
repairs. However, we do realize that the poisons within us must be
purged prior to any repair work. There is vile in there that must be
astutely recognized and subsequently released. As long as we remain
in denial of these things, we will inevitably enshrine them in the
rebuild only to have them rise to the surface in the future. Face
them down. Release and purge them, bravely, instead. Clean and
debride the wound. These are quite personal demons fissures and fears
we are talking about here. So, it's up to the individual to wrestle
with them, if they dare. And, it's those that are willing to face off
squarely with these things and purge them that will fare the best.

This morning, the Moon
continues to grow in Scorpio. Her first major aspect is a trine to
Chiron during which we can acutely assess the pains of the collective
stirring deeply within our guts. Our denied truths. The ugly we've
tried to forget. It all is swirling in there this morning. With that,
again, we have much on a personal level to consider.
By midday, the Sun locks
into sextile with Saturn in Sagittarius. The road congeals, once
again, under our feet and we are called gently to duty. Put on your
best face and deal with the work you have to do. Meanwhile, the Moon
collaborates with Mercury in Virgo at 9:05 PM. We go to bed with the
pieces of the puzzle swirling in our heads. We are trying to fit
these pieces into order of priority. First step. Then, next step
according to importance. Emotional and mental triage of the
situations we are dealing with on those personal levels occurs. As
those thoughts continually swirl, the Moon reaches Void status until
entering Sagittarius at 4:27 AM.

Quite an interesting day,
indeed. Today we wake up to the Moon in Sagittarius. Her first aspect
comes in our evening hours, a sextile to Jupiter in Libra. This is
uplifting on the emotional plane. A bright spot. A lighter mood.
Which, I'm sure, will be welcomed by most.
However, our hearts are
still concerned with deeper matters. Much deeper matters as Venus
finds Pluto in Capricorn by sextile. Tis the bane of Libra season to
smile and put on a socially acceptable mask even when there are deep
things stirring in our guts. But, the call of those deeper things are
apparent throughout. What helps here are cherished friends and people
we trust. That's where the important conversations occur. Behind
closed doors with our most intimate and trusted friends and contacts.
Yet, the tendency to
over-react is upon us as Mars squares off with Jupiter in Libra at
5:46 PM. Ambition kicks. Hard. Causing us to feel as if we need to do
something RIGHT NOW. And that push is somewhat skewed and passive
aggressive. Not exactly what Mars in Capricorn at his highest would
choose. The best use of this has us climbing and climbing for that
higher perspective. Jupiter in Libra reaches wide and encompasses a
wide swath of folks seeking the betterment of society on the whole.
Justice seeking. Truth seeking. And, when you are in a swamp of
injustices it's hard to tell right from wrong. So, keep diligently
climbing one step at a time dragging yourself up that mountain.
Gather around your trusted supports and cling to faith. Goats know
that mountains create their own weather. One minute it is sunny and
warm. However, 100 feet or so up the hill a storm is brewing. The
answer to dealing with that is not to declare you will conquer the
weather and subdue the fates. The answer is to keep climbing while
reaching out in tandem to those climbing next to you in support while
accepting their trusted support/advice/guidance in return when you
need it.
By midnight, we are clinging
to the side of that mountain in the midst of a foggy rainstorm
perhaps crying at our chosen Lord and Savior or Gods and Goddesses
asking, “Why? Why have you forsaken me?” as the Moon squares off
with Neptune. We lay in our puddles of grief and delusion...perhaps
crying ourselves to sleep in our collective feeling of abandonment.
Yet, as the sparrow's morning song precedes the dawn in the morning,
we notice the ground begins to re-solidify under our feet. The sky
dries her tears and the Sun breaks through the clouds. We remember
our integrity. Our grit. Our faith. We have survived the storm.
Perhaps we were not abandoned afterall. We stare at the top of that
mountain with hope wrapped in diligence as the Moon meets up with
Saturn at 4:45 AM...just prior to sunrise. It is what it is. The
truth is the truth. Now, we shall work on dealing with that.

Indeed, it may have been
quite a night. But, as I mentioned, things are a little more solid
this morning than they were late last night. This morning, after the
Moon leaves her conjunction with the “realness” of Saturn, she
dances with the Sun in Libra via sextile. This mixture of Air and
Fire are a nice warm breeze in comparison to the rainy puddle we
slept in last night.
Enjoy the “lightness”
gifted to us under this sky while it lasts.

Overnight, the Moon in
Sagittarius found a bit more freedom by way of a trine to Uranus in
Aries at 2:26 AM. This helped to offset some of the remorse that
bubbled up under the Moon/Chiron square that waxed in at midnight.
For now, the Moon is void until entering Capricorn at 4:40 PM this
afternoon.
However, while our emotional
bodies are subdued and lax in reactiveness following the Moon
reaching Void status, there is still plenty brewing under the
surface.
First, Mercury has now
entered Libra as of 3:56 AM this morning. And, about 12 hours later,
the Sun in Libra squares off with Pluto at 3:30 PM. This occurs at
nearly 15 degrees Cardinal (14 Libra/Capricorn 57) to be precise.
And, it's likely to feel a lot like being caught in the crosshairs
between what we feel like we need to do and what everyone else thinks
we need to do. There is pressure and temptation here. There is also
that chance of someone smiling to your face only to be planning to
stab you in the back later. Why, yes. Libra has an ugly shadow too.
All signs do.
Again, the Moon is not
active during this time. Therefore, our powers of observation without
the interference of the immediate kick back of the emotional body is
astute. As Mercury enters Libra, we are encouraged to gather and
subsequently weigh all sides of the personal issues we have on hand
in our first attempts to make fair and even judgments. In time, we
will learn (as Jupiter in Libra will show us) that fair to me is not
always the same as fair to you. But, we are just getting started in
all that at this point. Don't make your final decision just yet. Keep
allowing the facts and truth to trickle toward you. All you need to
do now is gather them up while discarding the stuff that doesn't
apply. In that, you get to be the judge of what stays in the mix for
consideration and what goes. Allow the personal purge to occur.
The Sun is still locked in
square with Pluto as the Moon re-awakens in Capricorn at 4:40 PM. We
now, officially with the Moon's passage here, have a stellium in
Capricorn (Moon, Mars and Pluto) versus a stellium in Libra (Sun,
Mercury and Jupiter). That battle is due to pick up steam any minute
now and the poking instigator in Aries (Uranus) will surely have a
role in that, too.
So. How is it that you get
the goat and the scales to get along? How, exactly, does one
negotiate between Jupiter and Pluto? Given that eventual square
between these two also happens within orb of Uranus finding outlet
for that t-square in Cancer...perhaps hiding in your shell until the
battle between the Gods is all over? Call their mothers to tattle?
Invite them over for dinner? Appeal to the emotional impact of the
situation and the importance of the legacy we leave behind for our
children, perhaps. Perhaps. Just perhaps. What if I told you that
this square occurs right on the US Sun in Cancer. What if I told you
that all kinds of ugly in regard to our systems was going to pour out
as it does? Would you be surprised? No? Good. Because that is what we
are looking at eventually dealing with here.
Let me tell you a little
about Jupiter square Pluto. It is a self-righteous to the death
aspect. It is pompous. It is full of a lust for power and at it's
lowest is so aggrandized and full of itself that it loses sight of
anything that doesn't fit within it's systems of belief. Here we will
be called to collectively purge. And, that will happen. Just like
vultures do we will puke it all up but in a very public way. So, how
can we navigate that to the highest? By activating the highest
vibration of the planets involved in our personal affairs. Listen,
the purging on a US national level and on a global level NEEDS to
occur. Purging on personal levels also needs to occur. So, allow
it...I mean, no one is going to be able to stop it anyway. In the
meantime, remember the value of humility. Remember the importance of
things such as integrity and building a new legacy. Remember that
there is untapped ingenuity to be found with Uranus if we can rise
above our most basal instinctual and reactive and warring nature to
grasp it. Remember that there are going to be MANY who, instead of
gathering in cooperation with ideas of helping the situation in mind,
will gather with a violent and pissed off and personally justifiable
agenda. I'll tell you this though. No matter what someone does in an
effort to assail or oppress you that does not give you the
justifiable right to do the same in response to them or anyone else.
Does not. What that does, in the end, is surrender your power of
choice and your power over your actions to dependency upon what
someone else may have you do. So regardless of what “they” do
make sure you are still thinking and making decisions based on what
is best for all involved. It will involve emotional awareness and our
culture is not built in such a way that supports or is beholden to
that.
Today, my friends, is a
practice run for all that which is set to occur soon enough. So hold
your rudder gently but aim it true. Keep climbing. Make the next
right decision bearing in mind the implications of your actions upon
not only your future but our collective future and be sure you are
not the lemming following the other unaware lemmings off the cliff.
After the Moon clicks back
on, her first battle is with Mercury newly in Libra by square at 6:40
PM. The diligent Moon in Capricorn is not entertained by Mercury's
incessant avoidance of the problem. Mercury in Libra is not
entertained by the Moon's needling. Say what you need to say...good,
bad, ugly or indifferent. Don't try to pretty it up or delay the
conversation for a better time. Get it out in the open and deal with
it now before it breeds resentment and/or contempt. Have those hard
conversations. Only when the facts are revealed can the situation
meet resolution.

The Moon continues beaming
away in Capricorn. This morning she squares off with Jupiter in Libra
at 4:56 AM. Be sure you are looking at the situation clearly and are
not over-blowing it. Zoom in and out perspective as necessary.
By 7:19 AM, the Moon is
inspired toward productivity with a conjunction to Mars. She is then
softened and imbued with creativity as she finds Neptune by sextile
at 11:46 AM. Work but remain flexible.
Adhere to responsibilities
but leave room for enjoyment too. Keeping your hands busy however you
choose and fostering a small sense of accomplishment by the end of
the day are the best way to go with this. Working things with our
hands helps us to work out the tangles on the inside too. And,
feeling as if you achieved something will gently help you regain a
bit of confidence.
Just don't become overly
enchanted by that confidence and don't grapple over who gets to be in
control as the Moon finds Pluto by conjunction tonight. Instead, peer
deeply into the crevices that are exposed and assess the root of your
personal problems bravely and without veil of denial. We aren't there
yet. But, we are working on it.
The Moon perfects in her
First Quarter with the Libra Sun at 16 Cap/Libra 19 just around
midnight. Yes, there is pressure. Yes, there is a push to DO
something. So, quit procrastinating and handle it thoroughly. Don't
you dare throw a doily over that puke in the floor. Clean it up and
clean it up good vowing never again to allow yourself to ingest such
poisons again.
Sunday, October 9, 2016
We are getting there. Each
pushed to the very, very edge of our sanity almost to the brink of
having had enough. Many have already ungracefully crossed that
threshold. But, for those of us that remain, attempting to hold on to
our last shreds of sanity have just about had enough too. We will
hear those declarations loud and clear as our incoming Full Moon in
Aries rolls about next week. Now, though, those inklings are still
stirring as we continue to try to hang on.
pssst...Dee Snider from Twisted Sister is a Libra
This morning starts rather
pleasantly, though as the Moon in Capricorn finds Venus in Scorpio by
sextile. The waters quell and settle just a bit. We know on a
visceral level that some things that are brewing internally cannot
and will not sustain because they are poisoning us. It is NOT denial
that leads us to that conclusion. No. Venus is leaving her trine with
Neptune. It is the ability to be unafraid of what we find in our
shadow and a willingness to purge and reform that into something that
supports us instead of continually usurps us that is key. Conversion.
Yes. Acceptance. Yes. Dealing responsibility with the demons that we
find emerging from underneath our collective and individual skins.
There is no room for denial or fear here.
We are reminded of our
personal and collective biases as the Moon sextiles Chiron at 11:10
AM. You cannot go back and undo anything. All you can do is operate
with what you know now and make better decisions in the future in
light of that.
But, oh, are we fed up by
this afternoon as the Capricorn Moon squares off with Uranus in
Aries. This, for some, will indeed be the straw that breaks the
camel's back. However, those that are able to rise above the
emotional catalyst of the situation and declare that they will
think and act for themselves with the future of the collective in
mind are going to be the ones that fare the best. I'm not telling you
to discount your emotional reaction. I'm telling you to not allow
your initial emotional reaction dictate your next action. I'm telling
you to level up in regard to your ability to tap into a higher form
of emotional intelligence and to choose differently. More wisely.
More aware of the implications of your chosen action or reaction.
Won't be easy. But, it will, indeed be necessary.
Following the square with
Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Aquarius at 2:33 AM. So
whatever explodes leaves an echo of resonance and unsettled
vibrations behind it. How you deal with the unexpected and an upset
in routine is going to tell you a lot about yourself. So, be sure you
are in a position to be observant of those facts.
